Abstract
Driven by proposed changes in government funding (Birmingham, 2017) student retention and employability are key issues facing Australian universities. The most common reasons for attrition encompass physical and mental health issues, financial pressures and other personal reasons (Higher Education Standards Panel, 2017). Research has shown between 48 per cent (Leahy et al., 2010) and 84 per cent of Australian university students report all elevated levels of distress (Stallman, 2011) with 60 per cent reporting clinical levels of stress (Stallman, 2016).
Resilience has been shown to reduce psychological distress, assist with managing academic demands, and enhance academic outcomes (Pidgeon, 2014). Resilience is increasingly viewed as a critical skill for success in contemporary work environments where employees need to be able to cope with changes to roles, organisational structures, and strategy on an ongoing basis (EY, 2015; Humburg, van der Velden & Verha, 2013; Ovans, 2015).
